[MOD/FIX] Global Headers (Left Column) on all pages BETA

[Jason Sanborn]

This is a modification that is more of a fix. I have tested this on my site, and haven't found any issues with it so far. Of course, I've previously made that mistake with this code. As a result as of the current date, I am only calling this a BETA release. If anyone uses this and finds any problems, please let me know.

On some pages that are called by the message_die() function call, the IntegraMod headers (left column) does not display. This will allow the headers to be displayed on all pages.

OPEN: includes/functions.php

FIND:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

//+MOD] = array(         'msg_code'   => $msg_code,         'msg_text'   => $msg_text,         'msg_title'  => $msg_title,         'err_line'   => $err_line,         'err_file'   => $err_file,         'sql'         => $sql     );//-MOD: Fix message_die for multiple errors MOD

AFTER, ADD:

//--- Fix Global Headers ---     $sql_store = $sql;       if ( !defined('HEADER_INC') )     {         if ( !defined('IN_ADMIN') )         {             include($phpbb_root_path .

Just checking and I am sure you know but there are two instances of:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

    $sql_store = $sql;

I only updated the first one after the last "Find"

Also after I updated to this fix I got this error]General Error

I rechecked the file, and didn't see a second instance (except that which was added by the modification itself).

Here's the entire message_die() function to compare against, to make sure everything is correct.

If you have more information on your error, let me know, so I can try to find where the error is.

[tekguru]

So if we alter both occurances does it fix the issue?

[Jason Sanborn]

I only see one occurance in the unmodified file. In the modified file, it occurs twice. The first occurance is added by the modification in the first AFTER, ADD. This should not be changed. The second occurance is the line that should be replaced above.

If you are still having the error, can you post your message_die function, as I had posted in my previous post? (Be sure to disable smilies in the post when you do)

[Tom_S]

That has got to be the stupidest mistake I have made yet. That is a super huge "DUH!" on my part. That is what I get for working with code after working for 28 hours straight.

I ran back through it and there are errors on the board.

My complete bad. <img>

[Jason Sanborn]

No problem. I'm glad you found your problem, and hope you got it fixed. <img>

[Tom_S]

I still must be tired.

That is supposed to say 'No errors" on the board. After I re-coded it all back in there was not an issue at all when I did it right. I was counting the dang one I added as soon as I added it and all of a sudden there were two. If I would have been more attentive I would have watched what I was doing better. <img>

[Jason Sanborn]

[Tom_S]

Well darn. I haven't seen it as I have tried to duplicate what he did with no luck but I got a report from a Jr Admin of that same error:

[code]General Error KMA Off-Road Forum Index ÂÂÂ » General Error General Error  Could not query recent topics information  DEBUG MODE  SQL Error ]

Any ideas?

[Jason Sanborn]

That is a vague error message. Can you give me some more details as to what was happening, what page(s) this affects, etc?

[Tom_S]

Oops. Sorry.

I created a link in the qbar main menu to bring up unread posts since your last visit with this link:
http://mysite.com/search.php?search_id=newposts&sid=
(url modified)

When he clicked this is when he received the error. I still can not get it to reproduce so I need to call him and see if that was a very delayed post and he received it when I fouled up the first mod or since I updated it correctly.

Messag die for that line is:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

    message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not query recent topics information', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);

EDIT

I had a member just report the same error when uploading a pic to the album which is smartors that came with 1.4.0.

He didn't copy/paste the error but just said it was the same as the one reported.

I dunno...I am digging through it and can't see anything.

[Jason Sanborn]

I will look into that and see if I can reproduce and find what might be causing the error.

[Jason Sanborn]

I haven't yet been able to pinpoint this error. There are a couple of things we should check.

1) When you receive the error, does the left column still appear (as the Mod suggests)?

2) If you remove the code added by this mod/fix, do you still receive the error?

If both items are true, then the mod is performing as designed, and you should look for the error elsewhere.

Please let me know what you find.

[Jason Sanborn]

Tom, do you have any more information on this? Has anyone else tried this code? It has been running on http://forums.simplicitypoint.com/ since I posted this thread, and I haven't seen any problems yet.

[obiku]

I use your code, and have no problem

[ayasha]

Tom, do you have any more information on this? Has anyone else tried this code? It has been running on http://forums.simplicitypoint.com/ since I posted this thread, and I haven't seen any problems yet.

what exactly does this code do Jason? i went to the Simplicity Point foru, and i see nothing different there than i see on other forums. sorry for not understanding. <img>

[Jason Sanborn]

That's ok.

[ayasha]

oh ok, now i understand it <img>

[obiku]

Jason, maybe you know a fix. This Global Header normaly works great, but ressently I found out, it will give a

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

 Fatal error]if the Install/contrib or Prill_install directory haven't been removed.
At the beginning of the page_header.php code there is this part of code[code]if(!defined('HAS_DIED')){     force_required();}  [/code]In common.php is this code[code]if(!defined("IN_LOGIN")){     if (file_exists('install'))     {         message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, 'Please_remove_install');     }       if (file_exists('contrib'))     {         message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, 'Please ensure the contrib/ directory is deleted');     }}  

If I understand the code right, the message_die will now include the page_header.php before HAS_DIED is defined. And because the HAS_DIED isn't defined, the force_required then is called by the page_header.php

Maybe you know how to fix this.
